Team USA - Baseball team knocked out

Gold medalist of 2000 Olympic Gold Medal in baseball - Team USA - has been knocked out in the qualifying round for 2004 Olympics by… Mexico.. hahahaha.

So, now the defending Champions will be sitting in their homes watching the action on their big-screen TV when Olympics will be played in Athens 2004.

Wah wah wah… Poori world series jeet ke, Mexico say jootay khaa ke laut ke budhu ghar ko ayay.

Well done! :k:

:hehe: :rotfl: :hehe:

:k: :k:

Thats just sad, it worst then Holland not qualifying for WC in 2002.
Then again, 75% of players in MLB are foreign, mostly Cubans and Puertaricans.

absoultely shameful.

and i ask again, why is the mlb finals matchup called the "world series" ?

Again I say, most of the players in MLB are not Americans.

America, in itself is a World :D

I think the first time Baseball was made part of Olympic, the then so-called champs were beaten by Japanese who were not so recognised in that sports..... anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.

:hehe: @ World Series

they can call it universe-series can you stop them? :slight_smile:

haha, way to go!!!

Do they have the same players, which play in the World Series in the Olympics? If so, thats really embarassing...

Team that played in the tournament... Not a single recognized player...
